The remote instruction process executed by the remote terminal 100 and the instruction terminal 10 is described based on FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a flow chart of the remote instruction process executed by the remote terminal 100 and the instruction terminal 10. The tasks executed by the modules of each of the above-mentioned devices will be explained below together with the process.

First, the connection request transmitter module 160 transmits a connection request for screen sharing with the instruction terminal 10 to the instruction terminal 10 (step S10).

The connection request receiver module 20 receives the connection request transmitted from the instruction terminal 10, and initiates a network connection for screen sharing (step S11).

The imaging module 180 judges whether or not the imaging module 180 has received an instruction to take an image of a working area (step S12). In step S12, if judging that the imaging module 180 has not received an instruction to take an image of a working area (NO), the imaging module 180 repeats the process until receiving an instruction to take an image.

On the other hand, if judging that the imaging module 180 has received an instruction to take an image of a working area (YES), the imaging module 180 takes an image of a working area (step S13).

The GPS acquisition module 170 acquires its own location information from GPS 6 (step S14).

The data storing module 190 stores the acquired its own location information (step S15).

Each process in step S14 and step S15 may be executed at the timing described later.

The image display module 171 displays the taken image of the working area, and the solid display module 172 displays the three dimensional shape in the image (step S16). In step S16, the image display module 171 and the solid display module 172 display the remote instructed screen shown in FIG. 5.

FIG. 5 shows the remote instructed screen displayed on the remote terminal 100. The image display module 171 displays the image 310 in the image display window 300. Moreover, the solid display module 172 displays the solid display window 400 in the image display window 300, and then displays the solid 410 in the solid display window 400. More specifically, the solid display module 172 places and displays the solid 410 on top of the image 310. Moreover, the solid display module 172 displays the solid 410 in parallel to the image display window 300. The solid 410 is displayed as shape of the abbreviation cube.

The shape of the solid displayed by the solid display module 172 is not limited to a cube, and may be a polyhedron, such as cuboid. Moreover, the length of each side of the solid can be changed as appropriate.

The data transfer module 161 transmits an image data and a three dimensional shape data to the instruction terminal 10 (step S17).

The data transfer module 21 receives the image data and the three dimensional shape data transmitted from the remote terminal 100. The image display module 30 displays the remote instruction screen showing the image and the three dimensional shape as shown in FIG. 6 based on the received image data and the three dimensional shape data (step S18).

FIG. 6 shows the remote instruction screen displayed on the instruction terminal 10. The image display module 30 displays the image 510 in the image display window 500. Moreover, the solid display module 31 displays the solid display window 600 in the image display window 500, and displays the solid 610 in the solid display window 600. More specifically, the solid display module 31 places and displays the solid 610 on top of the image 510 in the same way as the remote terminal 100. Moreover, the solid display module 31 displays the solid 610 in parallel to the image display window 500. The solid 610 has a shape similar to the solid 410 mentioned above.

The input receiver module 32 judges whether or not the input receiver module 32 has received the input of the work instruction in the solid 610 (step S19). In step S19, the input of the work instruction received by the input receiver module 32 is an input to instruct movement or rotation of the remote terminal 100. The instructor inputs the arrow, the direction of movement or rotation, as an input of the work instruction. As the input of an arrow, the beginning point and the end point of an arrow may be defined by a numeric value or a point, etc., or it may be defined by dragging the arrow in the solid display window.

In step S19, if judging that the input receiver module 32 has not received an input of the work instruction in the solid 610 (NO), the input receiver module 32 repeats the step until receiving an input.

On the other hand, in step S19, if judging that the input receiver module 32 has received an input of the work instruction in the solid 610 (YES), the arrow icon display module 33 displays the arrow icon 620 on the remote instruction screen shown in FIG. 7 based on the input work instruction (step S20). In step S20, the arrow icon display module 33 displays on the remote instruction screen as arrow icon 620 that can recognize the beginning point, the end point, and the direction based on the input work instruction. In step S20, the arrow icon display module 33 recognizes the point where the input was received as a beginning point of the arrow. Moreover, in step S20, the arrow icon display module 33 recognizes the point where the input was terminated as an end point of the arrow. In step S20, the arrow icon display module 33 recognizes the direction starting from the beginning point of the input and terminating at the end point of the input as a direction of the arrow. The arrow icon display module 33 may recognize the beginning point, the end point, and the direction of the arrow by other methods. For instance, when the arrow icon is dragged, the arrow icon display module 33 may recognize the beginning point of the arrow icon as a beginning point, the end point of the arrow icon as the end point, and the direction of the arrow icon as the direction to be displayed.

FIG. 7 is a remote instruction screen showing the state being input for the work instruction displayed on the instruction terminal 10. In FIG. 7, the arrow icon 620 is displayed in the solid display window 600. The arrow icon 620 is not limited to the shape of FIG. 7, and may be an icon with a shape other than the arrow, such as a triangular icon, and a polygonal icon. The arrow icon 620 can be changed as appropriate if the beginning point, the end point, and the direction can be recognized from its shape.

The data transfer module 21 transmits the arrow data indicating the arrow icon 620 to the remote terminal 100 (step S21).

The data transfer module 161 receives the arrow data transmitted from the instruction terminal 10. The arrow location estimate module 173 estimates the location of the received arrow data based on its own location information stored in step S15 (step S22). In step S22, the GPS acquisition module 170 may acquire and store its own location information.

In step S22, the arrow location estimate module 173 decides the beginning point of the arrow data as its own location information. The arrow location estimate module 173 estimates and decides the end point of the arrow data based on the beginning point of the decided arrow data. The arrow location estimate module 173 estimates and decides the direction of the arrow data based on the beginning point and end point of the decided arrow data.

The data storing module 190 associates and stores the end point of the arrow data estimated in step S21 with its own location information (step S23).

The movement judging module 175 judges whether or not the worker should move based on the beginning point, the end point, and the direction of the decided arrow data (step S24). In step S24, the movement judging module 175 judges whether or not the worker should move by judging whether or not the distance between the end point and its own location information is longer than the predetermined distance. In step S24, if judging that the worker need not move (NO), the movement judging module 175 displays the remote instructed screen shown in FIG. 8 (step S25).

FIG. 8 shows the remote instructed screen displayed on the remote terminal 100. In FIG. 8, the arrow icon display module 174 may display the arrow icon 420 in addition to the image 310 and the solid 410 shown in FIG. 6. The arrow icon 420 is placed on top of the solid 410. In FIG. 8, the character display module 176 displays the message 700 instructing the action of the worker based on the arrow icon 420. The arrow icon 420 is displayed based on the beginning point, the end point, and the direction. For the message 700, the arrow icon display module 174 may receive the instruction input by the instructor with a voice input and a character input and may display the received instruction as a message.

On the other hand, in step S24, if judging that the worker should move (YES), the movement judging module 175 displays the remote instructed screen shown in FIG. 9 (step S26).

FIG. 9 shows the remote instructed screen displayed on the remote terminal 100. In FIG. 9, the image 310 shown in FIG. 6 is displayed in the same way as FIG. 8. The solid display module 172 displays the solid 430 in the solid display window 400. The solid 430 has a cuboid shape, and the length of a side parallel to the direction instructing the movement is longer than the length of other side not parallel to the direction instructing the movement. Moreover, the arrow icon display module 174 places and displays the arrow icon 440 on top of the solid 430. For the arrow icon 440, the length of a side parallel to the direction instructing the movement is longer than the length of other side not parallel to the direction instructing the movement. In FIG. 9, the character display module 176 displays the message 710 instructing the action of the worker based on the arrow icon 440. The arrow icon 440 is displayed based on the beginning point, the end point, and the direction. For the message 710, the character display module 176 may receive the instruction input by the instructor with a voice input and a character input and may display the received instruction as a message.

The imaging module 180 judges whether or not the imaging module 180 has received an instruction to take an image of a working area (step S27). In step S27, if judging that the imaging module 180 has not received an instruction to take an image of a working area (NO), the imaging module 180 repeats the process until receiving an instruction to take an image.

On the other hand, if judging that the imaging module 180 has received an instruction to take an image of a working area (YES), the imaging module 180 takes an image of a working area (step S28).

The image recognition module 177 performs the image recognition of the image, and judges whether or not there is any change between the image taken in step S13 and the image taken this time (step S29). In step S29, the image recognition module 177 may extract the feature amount of the previous image and the latest image respectively and judge if there is any change between the images based on whether the extracted feature amount is matched or not.

In step S29, if judging that there is no change between the images (NO), the image recognition module 177 judges whether or not the image recognition module 177 has received an instruction to take an image of a working area.

On the other hand, if the image recognition module 177 judges that there is a change between the images (YES), the GPS acquisition module 170 acquires current location information (step S30).

The arrow icon display module 174 changes the direction of the arrow based on the location information acquired in step S30 and the location information of the end point of the arrow data stored in step S23, and displays the remote instructed screen shown in FIG. 10 (step S31). In step S31, the arrow icon display module 174 estimates the beginning point as its own location information acquired this time, estimates the end point as a location information of the stored arrow data, and estimates the direction of the arrow icon based on the beginning point and end point, and finally displays the arrow icon based on the estimated beginning point, the estimated end point, and the estimated direction of the arrow icon.

FIG. 10 shows the remote instructed screen displayed on the remote terminal 100. In FIG. 10, the image 320 taken in step S27 is displayed in the same way as FIG. 9. The solid display module 172 displays the solid 450 in the solid display window 400. For the solid 450, the length of a side parallel to the direction instructing the movement is longer than the length of other side not parallel to the direction instructing the movement in the same way as FIG. 9. Moreover, the arrow icon display module 174 places and displays the arrow icon 460 on top of the solid 450. For the arrow icon 460, the length of a side parallel to the direction instructing the movement is longer than the length of other side not parallel to the direction instructing the movement in the same way as FIG. 10. The character display module 176 displays the message 720 instructing the action of the worker based on the arrow icon 460 displayed based on the beginning point, the end point, and the direction. For the message 720, the character display module 176 may receive the instruction input by the instructor with a voice input and a character input and may display the received instruction as a message.

In the embodiment mentioned above, it is explained a case where the movement is instructed by the arrow icon but the rotation also may be instructed by the arrow icon. In this case, the arrow icon has to be curved in the direction the worker should turn.
